I read the same article earlier today. What kills me is that existing gross margins on broadband are 95%!

If that's the case, that's anti competitive in nature and will end up being problematic.

I would switch providers, or get a commercial account. The FCC will get involved after enough consumers start complaining.

How did you get Bright House from that article? It made reference to TWC...We have no plans for consumption based billing at this time. Remember.... what TWC does or does not do has no bearing on what we do.

For the record Canada and many other places have had internet caps for a very long time. I am oppose to it however. the base number would have to be very generous for me to support it and there would have to be an unlimited option available as well.

If cable and dsl start having limits then that may lead to even more competition that does not have such limits or charges per gb. The cost is dropping for the providers and they are not really charging anymore money than they did ten years ago when broadband started getting popular so this may be their new way of trying to get more money.
